Chapter 206: Chapter 134 The Secret of the Yan City Lord_2

So it sounds like the Immortal Sect that the Great Wine Immortal Dan Tai Da Jiu Xian is part of isn’t really that great.

Then Wen Liangyu continued: "I don’t know if the Clearing Void Sect has discovered my father’s true identity. But the news of me being a Half-demon leaked out after half a year. The son of a city lord under the jurisdiction of an Immortal Sect cannot be a Half-demon. The Clearing Void Sect originally wanted to get rid of me. It was only because my father knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, saying that the Spiritual Tea I was diligently researching could benefit the Clearing Void Sect in the future, that I was spared. However, I was ordered to never leave the city or show my true face." As he said this, his eyes reddened again. He had always been moved by his father’s plea for his life. Now he knew it was for his own sake.

"...In fact, you’ve taken your revenge on them in your own way, haven’t you?" She really wasn’t very good at comforting people.

"Revenge?"

"Exactly. Think about it, City Lord Wen was eager to use you for a blood exchange to extend his life, yet you brought out the Spiritual Tea that could expel Heart Demons. If it weren’t for those demons causing trouble last night, I wouldn’t have been able to save you; the Clearing Void Sect isn’t friendly to you either, yet your Spiritual Tea has given them a great deal of trouble... Isn’t that the best revenge?"

Wen Liangyu found her words amusing, and his mood was slightly lifted.

She changed the topic: "What kind of Demon species is your mother?" Was this question too indiscreet?

"My father and I don’t know. He has consulted many ancient texts and guesses that she is most likely of the fox demon kind." He did not yet know that Ning Xiaoxian had long been aware that he was a Half-demon, but given that she could deceive a Great Cultivator like Master Fan and suddenly appear from the cave, it was obvious that she was no ordinary person. The disguise medicine on his face had been washed away, but Ning Xiaoxian still spoke to him with ease and laughter, facing his Half-demon visage, which deeply touched the Little Half-demon’s heart.

Due to his terrifying face, he was confined to his home by Wenger since he was young and took pleasure in reading books all day. A few years ago, a servant accidentally saw his face, and the look of horror on that person’s face was something he still vividly remembers. He didn’t ask about the fate of that person, only knew that all the staff in the residence were completely changed within two days.

He shook his head, casting those memories away. Wenger was dead, and after living in Rock City for ten years, he was still not accepted, but at least now he no longer had to lock himself up in a small courtyard every day.

The cold voice of Lord Changtian sounded: "Not of the fox kind. Although there is some resemblance in the face, your habits are quite different from that of fox demons."

He used the words "habits," which one wouldn’t normally use to describe humans, and took a few measured glances at Wen Liangyu with his golden eyes. The latter, however, did not show the slightest anger; instead, he turned to him and bowed respectfully, saying, "Please enlighten me, Lord Changtian."

Look, how polite the man is. Do you think just because you’re handsome you can be rude? Ning Xiaoxian gave Lord Changtian a sidelong glance. But he ignored her, only murmuring:

"Your ears are round, your mouth is short, and your mustache is sparse. Your fur bears resemblance to a fox, but the pattern is very shallow. At first glance, it looks like you are a descendant of a fox demon, but on closer inspection, there are differences."

"Moreover, when you faced me for the first time last night, even though you also seemed under a lot of pressure, it was not as unbearable as the Bat Demon, and you even had a sense of resistance. This could be related to the Human blood in you, but Demons place great importance on bloodlines. The lower the grade of your Demon bloodline, the more fearful you would be in my presence. From this, I deduced that your mother must be a Pure-blooded Demon that has cultivated for over two thousand years."

Although his words were arrogant, they were not without reason. Ning Xiaoxian recalled how Afu behaved when he first saw Lord Changtian, as if he desperately wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in the ground; she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a smile.

Lord Changtian glanced at her and continued: "Yet, you are meticulous and thoughtful, knowledgeable and versatile, which aligns very well with a demon species I remember."

Wen Liangyu urgently said: "What is it?" After more than twenty years of confusion, now that someone was pointing the way, how could he not be anxiously burning with curiosity?

"The Di Tuhao. It is also one of the mutant Demon Beasts from ancient times that resembles a fox but has short ears. Though scholarly and thoughtful, adept in probing the laws of the world." The Qiongqi was lying next to the Pill Furnace, melting a new elixir, with steam billowing from the furnace. Lord Changtian extended his hand, drawing over a cloud of steam, which danced and drifed in the air; it gradually outlined the shape of a small white creature, complete with simulated whiskers, which was remarkably lifelike. This animal truly bore some resemblance to a fox, but its form was more slender and pliable, with round ears, short limbs, and a fluffy tail behind.

With a gesture, the steam-formed little beast floated towards Wen Liangyu.

Hmm, so Lord Changtian has decent art skills, then why is it that every time he designs something for her, it ends up looking so terrible? Ning Xiaoxian thought with a face full of frustration.

However, Wen Liangyu stared at the little creature in a daze, almost entranced. He couldn’t help but reach out to touch it, inadvertently dissipating the steam.

"Alas." He was unsure whether to be happy or sad, but still he turned to Lord Changtian, "Thank you, Lord Divine Monarch, for resolving the doubts that have plagued me for many years!"

"It’s a triviality." Lord Changtian said indifferently, "But I wonder what you plan to do next?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Liangyu fell silent immediately. Although he had been living in seclusion within the small courtyard of the Wen Residence for the past ten years, at least he had not worried about food and shelter. Now that he had regained his freedom, he felt adrift. Even with his extensive knowledge, he suddenly felt lost in the vast world, not knowing where to go.

The atmosphere in the room sank into silence, only the crackling sound of the Qiongqi gnawing at the firewood could be heard.

Ning Xiaoxian could no longer restrain herself: "Can we first settle the issue of where this person should go, please?" (To be continued.
